A beautiful and wise book... A miracle. * Colm Toibin,

Extraordinary. * New York Times *Brave, acute, elated, naked, brutal, tender, humane and
beautiful. * Nicole Krauss, author of Forest Dark *Extraordinary... Evocative, poetic and deeply beautiful. *
Tatler *Humanises love in a really powerful, beautiful way. * Armie
Hammer, Time Out *Deeply moving... I adored it. * Vogue *This novel is hot... a love letter, an invocation, and something
of an epitaph. An exceptionally beautiful book. * The New York
